In a surprising electoral upset, Canada's Liberal Party, led by Mark Carney, won the elections on April 28, allowing him to continue as Prime Minister. Previously trailing in polls, the party's unexpected victory is attributed to rising anti-Trump sentiments among Canadians. Carney has emphasized his commitment to LGBTQ+ rights, promising to protect access to gender-affirming care and address legislative backsliding impacting these communities. This marks a significant focus for his administration as he attempts to unify Canadians under his leadership.
On April 9, Carney made a speech addressing the rights of LGBTQ+ Canadians at a political event in Calgary, the first time he'd addressed LGBTQ+ issues during the election campaign.
We are all Canadians. On LGBTQ+ rights, Carney asserted a commitment to protecting access to gender-affirming care, amidst concerns over legislative backsliding affecting gender and sexual minorities.
